On the third date they had to rest, but on the fourth the Tricolor will face Argentina this Wednesday 17th at the Modelo Alberto Spencer stadium at 18.30In a match where only victory will help him to continue depending on himself to reach the final hexagon of the tournament.
Ecuador is last in Group A with no points and a goal difference of minus three. While the Albiceleste is third with four points and a goal difference of zero. It should be remembered that Only the top three teams in each zone advance. Therefore, Argentina is the direct rival of the Tri for the last spot in the hexagonal.
After the game against the Albicelestes, lThe Moscoso-led teams will close their participation against Uruguay, a duel that they should also win to qualify. Even so, it depends on Argentina not beating Paraguay in the last round. Or on the Peruvians not beating the Uruguayans this Wednesday.
But La Tri has to do its part, something that seems difficult since it is the only team in its group that has not scored a goal. However, everything is in its hands this Wednesday, when it will play its last chance.
It should be noted that this tournament gives four places to the World Cup in this category, which will be held between August and September in Colombia. That is, if Colombia is among the top four, the team that comes in fifth will go to the World Cup, because the Colombians are already qualified as hosts.
The ten CONMEBOL teams are divided into two groups of five countries. Zone A includes Ecuador, Paraguay, Argentina, Peru and Uruguay. Zone B includes Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Venezuela and Bolivia.
In the first round, the teams from each group will play each other once and will have one round off. The top three from each group will qualify for the final hexagon, which will have five rounds. The teams that finish in the top four places will qualify for the World Cup.
Something to keep in mind for the qualification is that Colombia already has its place guaranteed as the host country of the World Cup. That means that if it plays in the final hexagon and finishes between first and fourth place, it will free up one more place for the World Cup.
